"Worry Free Living" A TOXIC WEB OF "WHAT IF?"

Winning Your Family's Battle Over Worry

Worry and its fraternal twins anxiety and stress, affect our mind, body, and spirit—and can make our families miserable. In these practical pages, Cole and Rose—with contributions from leading researcher Pamela Ovwigho, PhD—help parents to identify what's bugging their families, and to clarify and sort their worries into those they can and cannot do something about. This insightful resource includes Bible-based wisdom, advice, and treatment options from a variety of psychological and medical professionals. Ideal for individual use and group study, Worry-Free Living helps you:

·        Identify the Top 10 Worry and Stress Points and plot steps toward change

·      Understand the difference between the mind (what we think) and the brain (the physical processes of chemical reactions) and how both contribute to worry.

·        Discover tools to de-stress our thinking and calm down our bodies

Reject the myth that we are in control and learn to take Jesus at His word: "Come to

me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).

The "Recap and Reflect" feature helps me to hear from God through others—and that may be the most important thing of all.

Brian Doyle, President, Iron Sharpens Iron National Men's Equipping Conferences

Great advice for every worrier in your life . . . Offers hands-on strategies on how to nurture a calmer, Christ-centered home front.

Dr. Trina Young Greer, Founder and Executive Director of Genesis Counseling Center

Worry-Free Living is outstanding, excellent in truth, well written, and highly practical.

AGING: From the Archives of Christian Writings

AGING - I

Picture Credit: vancouversun.com

The Bible tells us that “religion that God accepts as pure and without fault is this: caring for orphans or widows who need help….”  (James 1:27 NCV). 

 If I profess to be a practicing Christian, the reality of my faith will be reflected in my attitude towards the elderly in general and to my own parents in particular.  First, I am called to respect old age itself.  The Word of God tells me to “Show respect to old people; rise up in their presence….” (Leviticus 19:32 NCV).

How long has it been since you saw a younger person rise to give his or her seat to an older one? Just as a matter of common courtesy, do our own children get to their feet when their grandparents come into the room? And when grandpa is out of earshot, are our words indicative of a spiritual obedience and a decision to indeed “Honor our father and our mother”?

….You see, it is not enough to care financially for our loved ones.  They deserve more from us than our pocketbooks.  They need above all else to know that we consider them valuable as people and that they are still Important to somebody, somewhere.  Do we have a sympathetic sensitivity to their severe desire for independence and their frustration or embarrassment of having to be dependent on us at all?  Have we appreciated the fear that they may have had of becoming just so much nuisance value to us?  We will have to work very hard to assure them that it is indeed a privilege and joy for us to care and give and do, not as a mere duty, but rather as a delight. 

I believe that “honoring” or valuing our parents includes all of this.

AGING - II

Really you may not be as old as you think you are.  Is the age of fifty old?  John Wesley thought so because, as he approached the half-century mark, he very gloomily and hastily wrote his obituary that he might be remembered among man, but at the age of eighty-eight he was still living a joyous and a full life. At that age he was worrying about being remembered by others, but was thinking about how he could accomplish the will of God.

Is the age of sixty-five old?  Charles Elliott, president of Harvard, once thought so and was telling a friend that the expected to die pretty soon because of the old age he had reached.  Yet at the age of ninety-two he was living a more useful life than he was at the age of sixty-six.

The point is, you may not be as old as you think you are.  It has been well said, “Age is only a matter of the mind!  If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”

Doctor Albert Schweitzer worked creatively and happily well past his ninetieth birthday.  He had many accomplishments he could point to.  He could have “rested on his laurels,” but he continued to believe that there were useful tasks which he could perform.  Even at the time of his death, he was working on the manuscript for a new book.

Go back to Robert Browning’s   beautiful poem:  “Grow old along with me!  The best is yet to be….”  No matter what your life is believe that your present age is the best age.  And it is very likely to be.

Technical Support can be challenging - GoTandam

Technical Support can be challenging some days. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a job I love, and one that suits me well. I’m a problem solver at heart (hence the Rubik’s cube on my desk) and there’s no better source of problems to be solved than in Technical Support. But some days, it just…gets to you.

By its very nature Technical Support is a negative job. Every morning I sift through email after email, voicemail after voicemail, and even several text messages from people asking for help with something that has gone wrong. They’ve forgotten their Username; their daily text messages have stopped for some reason; they appreciate the emails but please stop sending them.

J is for Jerusalem And Jesus Christ

Jerusalem:  It is the holy city for Jews, Christians and Muslims.  It is the capital city of a tiny land called Israel.

 In the 1948 Arab Israeli war it became divided into two Israel and the Arab Country of Jordan.  Israel held West Jerusalem and Jordan controlled East Jerusalem.  Israel won East Jerusalem in the brief Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and combined it with the western zone.  West Jerusalem is the modern part of the city. East Jerusalem includes the Old City the place for many ancient monuments of holy places.

Jews consider it a holy city because it was their political and religious center in Biblical times.  Around 1000 B.C. King David made Jerusalem the capital of the united Israelite tribes, later David’s son Solomon built the first Temple of the Jews in the city.  Christians consider it holy because Jesus Christ was crucified there, and many events in his life on earth took place in this city.  Muslims believe that Muhammad, the founder of Islam rose to heaven from this city.  It is their third holiest city after Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia. 

Pic. Credit. A to Z Challenge

Jerusalem‘s three-fourth population is Jews.  They live in West Jerusalem where some Christians and Muslims too live. At the same time East Jerusalem’s majority are Arabs, about four-fifth of them are Muslims. Rest is Catholics of the Byzantine Rite or people belonging to Greek Orthodox or Roman Catholic churches.  In short this city stands like a glittering diamond in the geographical centre of the earth.  And the destiny of all mankind is bound up in the life of this unique city.

Interestingly this city is also known as the city of three Sabbaths—Friday (Muslim) 
Saturday (Jewish) and 
Sunday (Christian).

As said, though it is a tiny little land its presence is visible almost every day in newspapers and other visual media.  If one look from the perspective of the Word of God, one begins to understand the battle that is raging over the status of Jerusalem, the immigration of Russian Jews, the resettlement of Judea and Samaria, and the very principle of Israel’s continued existence.  From its inception it has been set apart from other nations.  That uniqueness of separation is still continuing and it’s fighting for its survival in the midst of a hostile world. 

Why its presence is visible every day in the media? What is it that important to this little nation of over a five million people, occupying less than the one percentage of the earth’s surface?  Why such a nation be a stumbling block in international affairs, major nations are discussing it seriously in their debates and decision making?  And why is it the most sought after fiercely contested piece of real estate in the world?

To find out an answer to these questions one need to go into the pages of Bible and need to set Jerusalem and Israel apart from the rest of the world.  The Bible says: "The earth is the Lord’s and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein"  (Psalm 24:1). However God lays special claim to Israel in general, calling it “My Land” and Jerusalem in particular, calling it “My City”

In the eyes of man this city may not qualify as the biggest, the brightest or the best city in the world.  Yes, it lacks many features as the world count as best or greatest city.  Yet it holds a great splendor and glory that is incomparable to many other cities of the world.

Yes, its uniqueness stems from the fact that God has chosen this city to be the capital of His Kingdom.  From His Throne in Jerusalem, the Lord Jesus will rule over the nations, and from the nations people will come up to Jerusalem to worship the King.  The whole earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord and that glory will emanate from Messiah’s Throne in Jerusalem!

Of all the cities in the world, only Jerusalem is referred to as

The Holy City                                     (Isaiah 52:1)

The City of the Great King                 (Matthew 5:35)

The Throne of the Lord                      (Jeremiah 3:17)

The Place of God’s Name                    (2 Chronicles 33:4)

The Object of God’s Love                   (Psalm 87:1-3)

The Cause of God’s Joy                       (Isaiah 65: 19)

The Dwelling Place of God                   (Psalm 135:21)

The Seat of God’s Government            (Isaiah 2:3)

A Crown of Glory and a Royal Diadem (Isaiah 62:3)

The City of Truth                              (Zechariah 8:3)

In this sense, Jerusalem is the most ‘elevated city on the face of the earth!

But today it may be a dim reflection and at worst, a contradiction of its God-given designation.  But people of faith can see through the eye of the Spirit, the restoration of all things that the prophets have spoken.  This process of restoration will be completed in the day of our Lord’s appearing

Jesus Christ: The Savior of the World.

But unfortunately for many Jesus Christ is just a leader of one of the greatest religion in the world.

Yes Christianity or Christian religion was founded on His life and teachings.   But a majority of Christians believe that He is the Son of God who was sent by God the Father to earth to save humanity from their sins.  Even a good number of non-Christians too believe that He was a great and wise teacher lived ever.  In reality He is the Savior of the world. Those who believe in Him have everlasting life.  Yes this belief in Jesus Christ has united people from many lands.  Christians make up the largest religious group in the World.  Muhammad, the founder of Islam regarded Jesus Christ as a great prophet and adopted many of His ideas.  Moral standards of equality, responsibility and care for the weak owe much to Jesus’ lessons in brotherhood and kindness.

The first four books in the Bible’s New Testament tell about Jesus Christ and His life. These books are called Gospels (Good News).  

You can read these books here at these links: 

       1.   Matthew 

2.   Mark 

3.   Luke  

4.   John  

Here is a visual treat for those who want to see these Holy places.  No need to go to Jerusalem, sit at home and see those lovely places.  To watch and read more about this visual effect please click on the below link:
